This number called my mobile phone, but they did not leave a voicemail message.
I had a pleasant conversation with someone and successfully sold them a timeshare property in Noosa.
I did not answer this call because it was from an unknown number. I only respond to calls from my contact list, and I have a message set up indicating that important calls should leave a message for me to return. This strategy has been effective so far.
After reading other reports about this number, I’m relieved that I didn't answer the call, as it appears to be a known scam.
Definitely a scam. Saying they were from Commonwealth Bank. What idiots.
I received a call this morning from someone named Alex, claiming to be from CBA (Commonwealth Bank) and asking if I had transferred money to someone. This seemed unusual and suspicious to me.
I have been receiving calls daily from this number, sometimes multiple times a day. They hang up immediately after I answer, so I have decided to block them.
At 4:03 PM on Thursday, January 19, 2023, I received a call from this number. My mobile device alerted me that it was a potential scam call, so I chose not to answer.
This number has called me three times today. The first time, the caller claimed to be from Commonwealth Bank, and the second time from eBay. I did not answer the third call.
I answered the call and there was nothing but silence so I hung up.
I have received multiple calls from this number. Each time I answer, the call disconnects immediately without any conversation.
Absolute proper scam. Saying they were from eBay and I was sent a gift card for $399 but I apparently paid for it from my bank account. Even went out of their way to say my family from NZ had sent it. I am Kiwi, how the eff did they know that??????????????????????????????????????
Had a call and missed it considering its from BOWRAL and I know no one there I called back its a call centre representing eBay asked for my name said Ted E Bear they hung up.
The number (02) 4879 9153 has recently been reported as a source of scams. I advise everyone to avoid any communication with these scammers—it's best to ignore, block, delete, and report this number.
I received a call from a number claiming to be from the Commonwealth Bank. They asked me to confirm a $500 transfer that I did not authorize. When I insisted that I had not made any transfer, they simply hung up the phone.
Number 02 4879 9153 called and said they where from the Commonwealth Bank asking if I knew a James Smith who had taken out up to $600 from my bills account/ credit card. As soon as I said I will call the bank myself and told them they were a scammer they hung up.
Scam. Saying they were from commonwealth bank.
Scam callers pretending to be from Commonwealth Bank.
Called number back - didn't ring, it went straight to a hold song. Indian man answered saying he was from eBay. First thing he asked was my full name, doubt this is eBay, especially when this site says the number is calling from Bowral. Terrible connection I could hardly make out what he was saying.
